  1. I was thinking Houck and maybe Kike or Pivetta, but Verdugo, too.
  2. Just making a coment. I have written them, often. They always respond.
  3. Time to extend Devers and others.
  4. Makes sense, but I'm not sue one more year without seeing him throw changed much.
  5. Sox Records: 5-5 BOS 9-3 Wor (1st place) 4-5 Por (4th place) 6-3 Gre (2nd place) 7-2 Sal (1st place)
  6. Curious why soxprospects, after years of having Noah Song ranked on their list, no longer have him listed. Did something change with his status?
  7. Not with 10 men pens.
  8. Interesting to think you could injure your Achilles from a foul ball off your foot. Rumor was he hurt it playing soccer with his wife, and that the Sox could have disputed his story, but chose to give him the benefit of doubt, and he proceeded to shaft the team. We got OCab, and he and is defense were a big part of our first ring in decades.
  9. Losing cred.
  10. I think how he got hurt, and apparently lied about it, also rubbed fans the wrong way.
  11. Agreed, but K% is a better tool. It will just take getting used to it.
  12. You don't think turning 32 had anything to do with it?
  13. It only diminishes the statement that he was the bests from Yaz to Betts, but yes, second best 4 year stretch is still great! He even wasn't a horrible fielder, early on.
  14. Boggs was better than Nomar, and IMO, it's not even close. bWAR 7.8 '83 6.3 '84 9.1 '85 8.1 '86 8.3 '87 8.3 '88 8.4 '89 fWAR 7.7 6.0 8.8 7.7 8.9 8.7 8.3
  15. It's politics, not science.
  16. He was traded for a SS who could actually field balls hit in his direction.
  17. I like the ones bashing AGon for letting them use his cellphone.
  18. Some awesome OPS Against numbers, this early season (5+ IP): .133 Groome .246 Walter .264 Suero .281 DHern .384 G Jackson .393 A Bautista .405 Roedahl .461 Hartlieb .478 Gonzalez .501 Seabold .503 Stock .514 Winckowski .536 Arredondo .544 Bello .661 Murphy Best OPS (24+ ABs) 1.403 Lugo 1.369 Fitzy 1.283 Rafaela 1.151 Refsnyder (9BB/8Ks) 1.105 Hamilton (5BB/5K) 1.074 Cordero 1.027 Kavadas .997 Y Sanchez (9BB/7K) .994 Binelas .984 Casas (9BB/9K) Notables: .883 Duran .851 Mayer .716 Downs (21 Ks in 43 ABs) .743 Yorke 1.040 Hickey .939 Jimenez .890 Bonaci (13 BB & 5 ks!)
  19. I loved the trade. I remember telling my brothers-in-law, "We just traded Nomar and are going to win it all!" They replied, "Who did we get?" "Orlando Cabrera," I relied. "Orlando who?" they said in unison. Nomar was an over-rated defender, and OCab was a stellar defender at SS, and not a bad hitter, either. I just never knew Nomar was traded, because of his face, until now. Thanks for the scoop!
  20. Take one for the team takes on a new meaning.
  21. Traded over a poopy face. This beats Beer gate!
  22. Didn't they catch him lying about when and how he got injured?
  23. Not many posters are saying we should trade Bogey, if we are still in the hunt, but I guess how much of a chance we have at the deadline might be up for debate. I would not trade Bogey, if we have a good chance to make the playoffs, but I would not be upset, if we did trade him while our team does not look like a ring contender. (Note: I am not one who believes the "playoffs are a crapshoot.") BTW, Nomar was not the only example under Henry. On September 4th, 2006, the 75-64 Red Sox were 6 games behind the wild card slot (MN), and we traded David Wells for a prospect (Kottaras). I remember several posters on the old site being upset we were raising the white flag, too early. We ended up finishing 10 behind at 86-76.
